Much of June was taken up with promotion work, but there have still been a few patterns that have crossed our desks and been published.

Summer is most definitely shawl season, and Bristol Ivy's eye-catching Rillmark stands out from the crowd.

It takes its name from the marks left in the sand by the retreating water once a wave has broken on a beach. It has a clever construction in the way that increases are worked not only in the body of the shawl, but also in the edging without any obvious break in the pattern.
